What you are missing out on, at least compared to a DaVinci is ease of operation and speed. The dedicated UI of the DaVinci and big hardware to allow silky smooth (read no jumping on minute adjustments) broad range (read always in 16 bit, maybe 24 bit space) and a job specific designed control surface. And that goes for more than just the secondaries !!

These are what the colorist here tell me. After color correcting a handful of HD shows on the Nitris while waiting for our DaVinci 2K. They won't come back.

I have always wondered this: What is the difference between a “proper” secondary color corrector and the function provided by the “selective color correction” preset. Doesn’t a secondary color corrector selectively color correct a certain range of colors, without affected the others? If we renamed the “selective color corrector” preset to say “secondary color corrector”, would that fix the problem? What are we missing out on that other color correctors provide, as I have never used any others.

Thanks!

There’s a pre-built effects tree preset in Image effects for secondary color correction, or you can build one yourself using a keyer to pull a matte of the desired color which you would use as a mask for color correction ... no “proper” secondaries in cc unfortunately.

How do you all do this in DS? I need to pull the red out of a shot without affecting the other colors.
